Definition - What does Facebook Questions mean?

Techopedia explains Facebook Questions

Users can ask questions by click "Ask Question" on their sharing menu. Questions can be made into a poll with multiple choice answers, or can be open ended. The audience who receives the question can also be selected. Users can answer any questions that appear in their Facebook news feed, or can take a look at what questions their friends are asking by clicking the "Questions" link on their Facebook homepage menu. Both individual users and Facebook page administrators can ask questions.

Facebook rolled out the Questions feature in March 2011. It was met with enthusiasm from businesses, who use the feature to boost interaction with consumers through a Facebook page.
